Violent video games & media must be banned. It should be treated like child pornography. A federal law prohibiting the dissemination of such material and people who develop or make such games and movies should be given the same punishment those filming child pornography receive. I personally recommend a minimum of 10 years. The social and psychological corruption of society must come to an end. I know many of you will not agree with my opinion, but I think you don't understand how bad an impact blatant violence in games and media has on people.

Where does the violence start? Modern warfare? AA? CS? What about fantasy like World of Warcraft? If hitting someone with a giant hammer ok, if you don't see the blood? Then what about car racing? If you can crash the car, do you assume people will think about the guy inside who has shards of glass inside his skull now? Is that violent? What if you don't see it? And animal cruelty? Is the frogger with cars running over the main character violent, or not? What about the games which depict whole wars but need only your imagination to add 2 and 2 together and realise that in chess you aim to kill as many soldiers of the opponent as possible (some skilled and specialised, half of them just cannon fodder - it's ok to sacrifice those), until the king is left alone and captured by the enemy... Actually it's hard to find games which do not imply violence in one way or another. Even cards symbolise opposing kingdoms on them. Even Go happens around life, death and taking liberties...
